Format:Mass Market Paperback
The heroine is Angel Devlin a PI in Palm Beach who in her spare time is organising a huge charity bash.
The hero is Tom Donovan (who looks like Hugh Jackman), a man who wrestles alligators who's father was a cat burgular.
Holt Hudson has agreed to have the charity ball at his house, he is also the man who shot Toms dad.
I have loved all of Patti Berg's books especially 'Stuck on you' but this one just did not seem quite the same, in fact if I was given it blind I don't know if I would have named her as the author.
It is a good book and well worth a read I have given it 4 stars because for me personally the 'romantic scenes' seemed to take up too much of the book.

"I'm Not Interested"
12 July 2004
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Angel Devlin is a tough PI who wears a stiletto concealed under her skirt and a combination lock on her heart. Ever since her divorce from knife wielding, Dagger Zane, the only men she's had eyes for are the adulterous husbands she's paid to follow by Palm Beach's high society dames. That is until she notices a handsome stranger following her from millionaire recluse, Holt Hudson's house, where Angel's been planning the charity ball of the season.
Growing up on an alligator farm in the Everglades, Tom Donovan is no stranger to dangerous reptiles. But nothing has prepared him for his new position as Palm Beach's most interesting piece of gossip and millionaire bachelor extraordinaire. While he may have just inherited big bucks, Tom's not interested in designer digs. The only thing he wants is to find out the truth surrounding the night, twenty six years ago, when Holt Hudson shot and murdered Tom's cat burglar father, Chase Donovan. But whether he's interested or not, when a honey-blond bombshell PI picks his pocket, she also sets in motion the tumblers on both their hearts.
Patti Berg's "I'm No Angel" has all the right pieces for a suspenseful romantic comedy, unfortunately on this story they just don't fall into place. The main characters' unbelievable and unrealistically quirky backgrounds were too much for this reader, making what should have come across as humorous read more like farce. The romance, while sizzling in the bedroom, felt contrived once Tom and Angel had their clothes back on, but the mystery did take a curve at the end. I'm recommending the only other Patti Berg story I've read, "Stuck On You" - its marginally better and made me smile. As for "I'm No Angel", I'm putting it in the "I'm Not Interested" pile.

Boring!!!!
9 Nov 2004
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I had to give this book two stars, for potential and the fact that I could tell the writer had talent just not in this book. The main character Angel is so flaky,unbelivable, and well just boring.As for the male lead Tom.... well he sounds cute and thats bout it. His past is intresting and would make for a great story,the same goes for Angel but I just didnt feel any sparks between the two main characters besides having lots of sex. It was all together boring, ummemorable, and bland. Really just to reiterate.. The book had potential but lost it from the very begining with a lukewarm love connection, a very boring mystery, and nothing much else going on.

Ms. Berg Delivers Again!!! A Hot Read For Summer!
9 Aug 2004
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Ms. Berg is an author that I pick up automatically. She always has qirky characters, fun storylines, and great chemistry between the main characters. This story was no different except...this time around things are a little hotter, and a little darker. These changes only show that Ms. Berg is a whole lot more talented in weaving a story that will have the reader glued to the pages.
Angel Devlin is a "once bitten, twice shy" P.I. for the wealthy Palm Beach society crowd. She drives a red Jag, and lives above a dog grooming establishment. Oh she also wears a stiletto, Jimmy Choos, and nice clothes. She also has an ex-husband named Dagger Zane who took her to the cleaners when she finally divorced him. As if this was all not enough she is planning a gala ball for an Alzheimer's fundraiser (her mother has this disease) and has talked a rather reclusive man to host it at his estate. Why is this a problem? She has to keep him happy and march to his tune. That shouldn't be a problem but it becomes on once she appears on the radarscreen of Tom Donovan. Tom is big, bad, handsome and trouble! Of course when you add Dagger, and a secret that Tom wants to solve to the mix you have the making for a great story.
Tom has a dark past and a mystery he has to solve. His father was acused of stealing a statue, and attacking the wife of his best friend. Of course he was killed during the commission of these crimes. Tom is out to prove that his father had not stolen anything, or attacked anyone. This leads him to his godfather the one person Angel has to dance to. He thinks he can use Angel to get to his godfather. What he doesn't expect is falling for the sexy Angel. Now he has to make a choice. Clear his father's name and find out the truth about what took place the night his father died. Or let the past lay and find love with Angel.
This was a very fast read full of great characters, humor, and great chemistry between Angel and Tom. The storyline regarding Tom's past was very entertaining and the mystery was solved at the end of the story. This was a very good ending. Ms. Berg delivers on all counts with her latest effort. I highly recommend Ms. Berg for a great entertaining read!
